Where Are We Going? THE IRRATIONAL GROUP C50 pp.J-S. Jonah--Everybody's Press -CfBl.99j In his novel, author Jonah, in a few well chosen statements, attempts to clarify the purpose and direction of the work of the Methodist Student Move- ment. He defines student work as that portion of the Church in a campus environment. Student work tries to meet the student in a context of his college education and situation. It at- tempts to bridge the gulf between intellectual knowledge and religion and to bring the Church and the College closer together. Two premises are stated in this rather straight-forward book. They are Clj the World of tomorrow is being born in the college today, and C25 the Church must sense the shape of things to come and speak out with a prophetic voice if it is to remain vital. Therefore , he concludes, the Church and MSM must be vitally in- terested in the College. The Church cannot divorce itself from any part of the world and still vitally speak to the world. These Also Serve THE HEAVENLY SUBTERRANE- ANS C350 pp.J-I. B. lobe-Beatnik Books-CFreej This is conceivably the only novel written in which the action takes place in several seemingly unrelated places- migrant work at farms and cotton ginsg Morning Prayers and Vespers in the front lounge of the Wesley Foundation, WESLEY FOUNDATION Book Reviews Wesley Friendly, usually in the base- ment of the Wesley Foundation, but sometimes all over the buildingg and study groups, Forum and Tuesday Lunch in the back lounge of the Wes- ley Foundation. Although the settings of this en- lightening novel are varied, they are part of a highly organized plot, for they function as parts of the activities of the Wesley Foundation. The degree of organization is further shown in the fact that all these activi- ties have a certain time to meet. Mi- grant work is put into action during the fall season, and characters are seen working on Friday and Saturday nights. Morning Prayers are scheduled for 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday and Vespers are at 6:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Study groups meet on Monday and Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. where various topics are taken up during the year. Some of the subjects discussed by the author are The Christian and Raceu, Great Devotional Literature , His- tory and Philosophy of Christian Mis- sionsn, Christian Social Ethicsv and The Gospel of Markf, 'Thursday night at 7:15, characters are shown coming to Forum. Special speakers and panels aid in the discus- sion of current events and problems. Activities on Sunday nights include the rip-roaring Wesley Friendly which takes place after Lubbock Methodist church services. Such things as plays, treasure hunts, fellowship singing, folks games, table games, and special pro- grams such as Freshman Friendly and the annual meetings of the SOTMOM- OTWF CSociety of the Mournful Old Maids of the Wesley Foundationj and the FBA CFuture Bachelors of Ameri- caj take place at Wesley Friendly. In a shrewd series of plot maneuvers, characters find themselves not only attending these functions, but also ac- tively participating in them. These Have the Word THE UNSEEN PERSUADERS C215 pp.J-Doyle Carnegie-A. Ifs Best, Inc.-CS.05J The only thing of which a Wesley Foundation hero can be sure is that, organizationally speaking, there' will always be persuaders in the form of counselors, committees, Wesley Foun- dation Council and Board of Directors. In superb meetings that are held fre- quently, plans are 'made for the total program of the Wesley Foundation. Specific committees carry out these plans in their own ingenious and un- usual ways. Besides the executive offi- cers, the chairmen of several commit- tees-Spiritual Life, Forum, Wesley Friendly, publicity, recreation, Dine-a- Mite, World Christian Community and Tech Methodist-are found inmeshed in the working of the council. The Wesley Foundation Board of Directors is composed of several in- terested Lubbock Methodist laymen and laywomen, ministers of Lubbock Methodist churches with college de- partments and student representatives. Guiding hands in the work of the Wesley Foundation are found on the arms of Rev. and Mrs. Cecil R. Matthews, directors, and Rev. Fred M. Holt, Ir., associate director. The Matthews have been involved in the story of the Wesley Foundation for 23 years while Rev. Holt is now in his first year at the Foundation. Paris of 1-he Whole AN EPISODE OF ROBINS C175 pp.D -Iay Birde-Parry and Keet, Inc.- Cl Box of Birdseedj These characters are presented as being little cogs in a big wheel. But, the author does give the impression that these little cogsi' are required to keep the big wheelv functioning smoothly. All Wesley Foundation committee chairmen are seen frantically searching for committee members at the time of election of new officers. After selecting these committee members, regular meetings are scheduled Calong with allowances for irregular meetingsb at which time program plans are made.
